Wrong, I ordered a tablet last December from aliexpress and got this January.

The problem with Aliexpress is that they issue tracking numbers to multiple customers, in essence your phone has been sent to another person who was issued your tracking id.

You will get your money refunded if you be not received the phone after the dispute period.

Another angle could be nipost staff who pilfer parcels, a common thing in nipost.

I have a similar experience with WISH. I placed order for 5 smartphones, a tablet and some phone accessories since March. Only the accessories were received and non of the phones got to me in spite of the fact that it actually arrived Nigeria long ago. I suspect that some NIPOST Staff are responsible for this pilfering. The government should make them stop this.

Some NIPOST Staff are portraying Nigeria in a bad way.

I am not working for nipost, don't let them fool you, do not accept that defeatist illogical statements.
It is working
It wasn't the counter staff that told me that. I had a serious issue where my order was sent back to Singapore so I had to talk a woman higher up than the ones attending to customers. Immediately I mentioned nipost track and trace, she said I should leave that one for now. That they haven't been getting updates there for a long time.
Ignoring what she said...track24 dot net also does the same thing nipost track and trace does. So it's nothing special. They both depend on the same online tracking.

I have been calling all their customer care number I saw on their twitter page, the calls are going through but nobody is picking up.

The one that managed to pick up asked me to send my tracking number and call back after some minutes. I sent the tracking number, and called back after some time, she refused to pick again.

Chai!!! I don't even know who to call again.

Which kain wahala be this.




As requested.

I have created a thread for it on twitter

Let me give you guys a piece of advice.

Before you order anything, ensure you have friends in your zone's post office. When your item lands, he or she will contact you. Your friend should be someone working in the post office. Sort the person from time to time too. Omo, this country, na only God go help us.

There is no bad image. Phones and other items are still been delivered by nipost, dhl and the rest carriers. But once dey get to Nigeria, u have to pay custom duty for those items. Especially phones over 30k
What u should do is talk to ur seller or confirm the whereabout of ur items from the app (tracking). If it's with customs. Pay ur duty and get ur item delivered to u on schedule.
Problem is, since most of these items price are under declared or declared as gift so as to sail through customs without hitch. And Ali done wise up.

Valentinooo:


Seriously, this is another bad image for Nigeria.
If aliexpress kept refunding Nigerians for items that have been shipped to their country, then it's only a matter of time before they blacklist us.

All these don't apply to AliExpress standard shipping.

A couple of items I ordered from Aliexpress and Wish vanished in Nipost. They enjoy stealing as they believe you will in no time forget about it and move on.

Most of these items has been stolen by NIPOST despatchers. I ordered for car inverters and some other things, up till now, I have not seen it. This is shameful of NIPOST.

Lol. I am a platinum member. And have been shopping there since 2010.
Check my last quote. I told u how their shipping works. They either declare it as gift or under declared the price of the goods. Sellers even chat u up to know which one u would prefer and which price they should declare.

it is a regular something from Nipost. they are fantastically corrupt in that parastatal.

Go to where it is to be delivered, and request to see senior management. Do like you get choko for head o, and brag a bit about knowing people and taking up the matter.


I suggest u guy's go to Twitter to complain and tag top people in this country... Fear go catch them small.

grin nothing but respect oga.
All the orders I've made and seen people make, I don't recall them mentioning this part of the transaction.
Are you talking about buying in bulk?
Or is it that the seller just does it without saying anything.
Anyways I'm just saying that I've not seen whwre anyone was made to pay fees to receive any order shipped with AliExpress standard shipping.
Except for the post office charges but that's a different thing.

I can't really fault NIPOST as my experiences with em has been generally ok. Never lost a single package, all my package that never arrived I got refunded. I've even received package 6 months after I have been refunded. Unfortunately, in most of these instances I can't reach seller as some have either closed or gone out of business. I never really understand why most AE sellers keep closing stores and I guess opening under a new name. AE must've made it very easy for this to happen.

It's been long I ordered phone off AE. But all my goods that I never received is either lost in transit or still in China. Never had issues where my items are in Nigeria (from tracking info) and didn't get to me.
. it's not NIPOST doing the refund it's the sellers on AliExpress that are bearing the cost. I ordered a phone accessory and NIPOST delivery staff brought it to my address 6 months after I raised a dispute and got a partial refund from the seller, was also wondering how the sellers break even in their business after refunding for a lot of items that get lost or stolen by our NIPOST. They will stop selling to Nigeria soon

You guys should stop using free shipping that goes directly to nipost.

Those guys will make us look like criminals, i have lost parcels when amazon shipped my items with them.

Now i use a private shipping company. I haven't lost any single item except a shattered screen guard

Sup man, am also based in Port Harcourt and would like to know the private shipping company you use

Good day sir/ma
I hope this email meets you in good health. There has been a regular pattern of occurrences with packages that were ordered on AliExpress. Initially it was thought to he the effects of the covid19 pandemic on the country. But with recent complaints that have been received on a thread on the popular nairaland platform : LINK
it looks like something bigger is going on that we the buyers don't know about.
From my personal experience, I have noticed that less valuable items arrive very much faster than the more valuable ones ( most commonly phones). Using my case as an example, I mad an order on the 23rd on June with AliExpress and on the 8th of July, the tracking information was updated that it has been despatched to destination country - Nigeria. Ever since that date, there hasn't been any information regarding my package anywhere. I have visited the general post office at Marina multiple times and when they tried to track it for me they came up with nothing.
A different order that I made five days after the initial smartphone order (for an accessory to be used with the phone) has arrived since the 25th of August. This accessory was despatched 10 days after the phone was despatched and ordered five days after. It is very surprising that there is still no update on the phone up till now.
My situation is on the lighter side because there are people on the thread who have been waiting for their smartphone orders since as early as March, April and May.
Meanwhile they have received trivial items like cheap accessories. Surely there is more to it than we, the buyers know.
The trust that sellers have in Nigeria has taken a deep plunge as stores on the popular site AliExpress have decided to blacklist Nigeria. I believe that if this continue, it would be a great hit on the people here in Nigeria.
A few weeks later, an influx of testimonies of packages being received, flooded the thread. But as much as we asked "did anyone receive a phone" the answers were "No..."
It's a truly sad situation to use ones hard earned money to make a purchase online and then it reaches our country Nigeria and then it's nowhere to be found.
There are a lot of opinions I can pour out but it would not nearly be enough to show the weight of the situation I and hundreds of people (counting only those that decided to share their stories) are facing.
